Re: Prop bet thread

Question on this one:
My friends want to give me as long as I want (we'd probably cut it off at ten years) for me to be able to bench press 315 pounds (3 plates on each side). Quick background:
I'm 6-foot 175 right now. I'm probabyl 10 pounds overweight from my "playing weight" let's say in high school (for basketball). I've taken some creatine in the past (Cell-Tech) for about 2-4 months, and it was in less than recommended dosage. The most I've ever bench pressed was 225, that was over a year ago. Right now, I'd imagine I'm hard pressed to get up 195-205.
Thoughts on what a line should be? They want to give me my entire life, but like I said, let's cut it at ten years. Either way, I could use creatine or something but would NOT use any kind of steroids of anything else that has serious side effects.

You need to take this bet asap. Get it set-up for a year, but in reality I don't think it will take that long. If you just get on a simple 2x a week 5x5 program with some heavy tricep work this should be no problem so long as you don't starve yourself. The key is going to be getting form down (yea, it's just a bench press, but it can be pretty technical if you want to maximize your mechanical advantage) and hitting the triceps hard. Chest is not the primary mover in a competition-style bench press.
